    I don’t understand why I’ve having so much issues trying to get everything back in overwatch 2. I’ve always only played on Xbox . I set up a battle net account back in august as it was needed to play overwatch. This was linked to my Xbox account and it’s 100% the same details

  • RakkoiTv RAKKOI 🦦 (@RakkoiTv) reported

  • fusehoundz Elliott / Kaidan (@fusehoundz) reported

    The fact I'm not getting the thing i paid $40 for overwatch and it's not just a me problem with no solution... lol

  • rando9292 Chad Chiaki enjoyer (Rando) (@rando9292) reported

    @HVD80232047 @Donovan70068073 @TWTHEREDDRAGON No. They were undervalued if anything. Despite all those issues their year over year revenue was actually up in 2021 and ironically the allegations had little affect on their stock dropping, the delay of diablo 4 and overwatch 2 coursed the biggest drop in that time frame

  • xSleepex (@xSleepex) reported

    I just want to merge my ps4 and pc overwatch accounts D: this glitch sucks

  • llamaemilia Emilia (Dance Fever Era) (@llamaemilia) reported

    TBH I feel like blizzard and overwatch are not being super transparent about the Watchpoint Pack issues & there’s a much larger issue going on with people not having the items they essentially preordered

  • unseenartist1 unseenartist1 (@unseenartist1) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @OverwatchEU I have no items from overwatch one like you guys promised I don't know what's going on, but could someone please fix this. I spent too much time and money on that to let it go

  • GodOfKnockers 🇺🇦 GodOfKnockers 🔞 (@GodOfKnockers) reported

    So I played a match in Overwatch 2. The game went well and my team won, but I did notice a few things. On the opposing team: 4 people left the match in play. The Queue times are longer +1-2 minutes And there were latency issues.

    Hey so if we have to disconnect and reconnect our Twitch account with Blizzard to get Twitch Drops for Overwatch 2 Do we have to do the same on YouTube to get OWL Tokens?

  • BAKAsama83 Mike Speakman (@BAKAsama83) reported

    Played 6 hours before my disconnect. I call this progress. Overwatch 2 is healing uwu

  • firelord_fried Fried 🏳️‍🌈🐉 (@firelord_fried) reported

    no queue to login to Overwatch today but have waited 25min for a quickplay queue? 😭😭

  • NicoleyMcquack Nic ✨ (@NicoleyMcquack) reported

    i think i found a fix for my overwatch crashes but i can’t even test that because quick play queues are infinite 🥲

  • ZombieShooz ZombieShooz (@ZombieShooz) reported

    @skiesti_ This business of completely removing Overwatch 1 and replacing it is what caused such a problem. It's Gunz The Duel all over again.

  • TakeruStrangeAF Takeru (@TakeruStrangeAF) reported

    I honestly kinda dislike people complaining about their First World problems. Also stands for someone getting mad in game and talking to me how much their teammates suck. Some people on the world probably don’t have tech & electric yet. And your anergy on Overwatch 2? Salty mfers

  • Dusoeeee Dusoe Gaming (@Dusoeeee) reported

    @RafaeliRandi @JWantedL Not even a really good tank, I had less than 3 hours on tank in overwatch 1, had to get the 50 wins merge issue. I tried Zarya like 4 games in and ended up going 50 and I think 6 losses, I didn't do anything crazy, brand new to kbm and it felt like dieing wasn't an option lol

  • mikeyvibe mikeyvibe psn (@mikeyvibe) reported

    Why can't I get on overwatch 2 I've signed in and keeps asking me to sign in and when I do it's now saying my number is already in use ?

  • pezzydawood YFW Pezzy🐺🖤 (@pezzydawood) reported
